Like I’ve said several times, my opinions on Lich as a class have nothing to do with your play this game. My point with that particular comment is that even if BD does successfully scumread the Lich on literally D1, reading the Lich as scum doesn’t help them eliminate them, since they still need to find the phylactery holders.
Like, the Lich could claim D1 NK and spend the rest of the game posting cat pictures, and if BD doesn’t get lucky with the phylactery holder PoE, they could still fail to kill the Lich.
